[ The answer shouldn't have surprised Megatron. He'd been here before with Drift, long ago. When Drift had been Deadlock, he leans back a little further, head craning to expose his neck to the other. It's an act of trust--it always had been between the two of them. Megatron's optics half-shutter. He's bracing himself, not necessarily for the pain because pain is something he can deal with. More the closeness of it, the way that he knows Drift will press against him.
He's not sure he'll ever be ready for it. The sense of vulnerability that comes with his is overwhelming and uncomfortable and yet Megatron can't seem to make himself rethink what he's about to do.
Maybe it's the nostalgia of the dream or just the feeling of helplessness in the face of Drift's grief. ]
